OCTOBER 2023 - Futures at Risk: Climate-Induced Shocks and Their Toll on Education

Displacement by climate-induced hazards boosts inequities in access to education to the disadvantage of girls and of the poorest children 14 A call for action: Delivering on Education in the Climate Crisis 17 References 18 2 Futures at Risk: Climate-Induced Shocks and Their Toll on Education for Crisis-Affected Children Introduction: Education in emergencies in the climate crisis The last decade h. [...] The CCRI helps understand and measure the likelihood of climate and environmental shocks leading to the erosion of development progress, including the deepening of education deprivations. [...] Emissions and methodology, as well as the latest research, and pollution have grown in most regions but endeavors to bridge a few knowledge gaps: first, are concentrated in the wealthiest countries, the extent to which CCED impacts and displaces 1 both in the present day and cumulatively school-aged children globally, and second, the way since the nineteenth century. [...] The second step involves the classification of the 224.4 million school-aged children affected by crises and in need of educational support (estimated in 2023 by ECW, referred to as “the 2023 ECW update” henceforth) in different categories, according to the degree to which CCED is likely to have exacerbated climate hazards. [...] Building upon the categorization of crises described in Section 1, we calculate the number of forced internal displacements between 2020 and the end of 2022 in the 27 crisis-affected countries considered in Section 1 and then estimate how many of these affected children of school age, in function of the structure of the education system in each country.
